Ksubi Cuban Shirt

Hawaiian inspired, look resort-ready with Australian label Ksubi’s ‘Vacay’ shirt. The drape-cut, camp-collar button comes kissed in a white hibiscus print, set on a burnished fuchsia pink backdrop that’s silky and smooth to the touch. Just add espadrilles and linen shorts.

Valentino Track Pants

These Italian-engineered Valentino joggers are sensibly crafted in an inky blue, mid-weight jersey so they breathe in the heat and sit silkily and relaxed. Licked with a white retro racing stripe and polished silver zips, the casual pants will outpace your average jogger of the market right now.

Unravel Project Denim Jacket

White jeans tend to get dirty, but a denim jacket in off-white is a style diamond. Take Unravel Project’s Triangle Skull trucker; backed with a renegade skull print, the casual cotton piece is coolly cropped and boxy, for an INXS-eighties fit– without the gaudy shoulder pads.

Tom Ford Sunglasses

Sunglasses riff on the retro this season, much like these ‘Brad’ (Pitt, perhaps?) aviator shades from American desginer Tom Ford. Crafted in Italy from silver-tone metal, the lightweight yet sturdy frames come with tortoiseshell tips for elegance, and look even more congruous, thanks to smoke-tone lenses for a rimless effect.

Maison Margiela Sneakers

How do you improve a sneaker icon? Get creative. Maison Margiela’s low-cut Replica kick–in supple leather and contrast suede–comes flecked in a multi-coloured paint splatter on the toe this season, so each pair is artistically unique.

Saint Laurent Sweater

All-over black and stamped with an imprudent print? C’est Saint Laurent. The ‘Waiting for Sunset 1971’ sweater–in pure virgin wool and a casually ribbed round-neck–harks to January 28, 1971; the day Mr Yves Saint Laurent rocked fashion’s core with a vintage-inspired show that broke all the rules. This is one of the tamer pieces.

Givenchy T-Shirt

Vintage band tees are this season’s style vice, and Givenchy is on a world tour with its latest print. Pre-washed to create a grunge effect, the faded black tee feels far from ‘used’ in the Parisian house's luxurious jersey cotton. Rock out the black skinnys and Cuban leather boots for this slim-fit bad boy.

Paul Smith Swim Trunks

Paul Smith’s ‘Ice Lolly’ swim shorts will show fellow bathers your fashion personality in the water. In an all-over popsicle pink motif, the Londoner’s newest shorts offer essential quick-dry fabric technology in a tailored cut, with an elasticated waste for that perfect fit. Pair with a neutral top and leather flip-flops.

Mr. P Blouson Jacket

The blouson was immortalised by fashion icons Newman and McQueen. Now, Mr. Porter's scion, Mr. P, has dropped an Italian-made navy number cleverly cut from cotton-twill that feels almost as light as a shirt, backed with soft-touch jersey, for all-season wear. A cool feature is the adjustable hem, to change the width at the waist, from louche to neat, as you see fit.

Christian Louboutin Bag

Nicknamed the ‘Backloubi’, this West African inspired backpack from Christian Louboutin is made from a bazin tie-dyed, lightweight canvas, so it’s easy on the shoulder, and exciting to the eye. In a sleek design, it features CL’s signature studs on the straps, and a main compartment for your everyday carry, along with an interior zip and front pockets for extra packing.
